Stouffer’s®

With a focus on convenient, nutritious and delicious meals, the Nestlé Prepared Foods Company is the maker of America's most popular frozen food brands, including STOUFFER'S® and STOUFFER'S® LEAN CUISINE®.

The STOUFFER'S® Brand traces its roots to 1922, when Abraham and Mahala Stouffer opened a small coffee shop in Cleveland, Ohio featuring delicious home-made food. The couple's sons, Vernon and Gordon, later opened a chain of popular restaurants. At their first suburban restaurant, in the Shaker Square area of Cleveland, customers began asking for take-out versions of their favorite meals to enjoy with their loved ones at home. As demand grew, Vernon began freezing popular items and selling them at a retail outlet nearby.

By 1954, the family had founded the frozen food operation bearing its name. It is this family heritage that you bring home every time you put a STOUFFER'S meal in your shopping cart. From those days in Cleveland, STOUFFER'S has been devoted to bringing families together around a table of delicious food.

Feeding America (formerly known as America’s Second Harvest) is the largest charitable domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States. Through its network of more than 200 member food banks, Feeding America annually provides assistance to more than 25 million people in need. Nestlé USA plants and distribution centers work with local Feeding America-affiliated food banks to supply products on an ongoing basis. STOUFFER’S® Dinner Club, an online consumer loyalty program, recently took that relationship one step further by allowing members to choose to donate their earned points to Feeding America.
